Here's a quick look at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet and Society's live streaming QuickTime broadcast implementation. The webcam is attached to the wall and features a remote zoom control. There are multiple microphones built into the conference table that automatically capture the person who is talking. There are lots of talks happening at Harvard all the time. If you can't attend in person, you can attend virtually online. There's also an online chat. Sometimes the sessions are also streamed into Second Life.
Media Berkman features conversations with and talks by leading cyber-scholars, entrepreneurs, activists, and policymakers as they explore topics such as the factors that influence knowledge creation and dissemination in the digital age; the character of power as the worlds of governance, business, citizenship and the media meet the internet; and the opportunities, role and limitations of new technologies in learning.
